  • June 2019 Stonewall at 50: a Major Anniversary Offers Opportunity For
    June 2019 Stonewall at 50: A Major Anniversary Offers Opportunity for New Historical Perspectives by Lexi Adsit Stonewall: For the LGBTQ community, this one word conjures up a range of emotions and beliefs. This month marks the 50th anniversary of the 1969 riots at the eponymous New York City bar, often mistakenly described as the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ movement. As we celebrate this symbolic episode, it's worth remembering that the riots are a complex and contested event, one whose legacy remains a subject of debate. For fresh perspectives on this iconic event, History Happens interviewed Marc Stein, vice chair of the GLBT Historical Society Board of Directors. A professor of history at San Francisco State University, Stein is the author of the new book The Stonewall Riots: A Documentary History (NYU Press, 2019). His research places Stonewall in a broader national context that positions the riots not as a starting point, but as a turning point. How were the Stonewall Riots viewed in California? News didn’t travel as quickly then as it does now, but many people found out via telephone conversations, friendship networks and word- of-mouth. Mainstream media didn’t provide much coverage, but alternative newspapers such as the Berkeley Barb and Berkeley Tribe and LGBTQ periodicals such as The Ladder in San Francisco and The Advocate in Los Angeles did better. Their reports suggest that many Californians viewed the Stonewall rebellion through the prism of recent developments on the West Coast. For everyone who knew about the anti-gay police killings of Howard Efland in Los Angeles (March 1969), Frank Bartley in Berkeley (April 1969), and Philip Caplan in Oakland (June 1969), the police raid on the Stonewall seemed like yet another instance of violent state repression.

  • New Views from Library Drag Storytimes
    Submitted on: 21.08.2019 Queer Reflections: New Views from Library Drag Storytimes Rae-Anne Montague Department of Information Studies, Chicago State University, Chicago, USA. [email protected] Joyce Latham School of Information Studies, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, USA. [email protected] Copyright © 2019 by Rae-Anne Montague and Joyce Latham. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Abstract: In 1990, Rudine Sims Bishop authored a seminal article, Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors, describing the power of children’s multicultural literature. Sims Bishop noted that, as literature enthusiasts, we believe that potential connections between children and books can be life changing. In order for connections to happen, there have to be many kinds of stories with many kinds of characters to reflect the lived experience, understanding, and interests of readers. This paper seeks to extend on Sims Bishop’s conceptualization and considers how the analogy of mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors applies to other aspects of library practice - in terms of library programs, particularly drag queen storytimes. It explores how queens at the library are contributing to community views. According to the American Library Association’s (ALA) Open to All: Serving the GLBT Community in Your Library (2016), “providing GLBT-friendly programming helps your community know that you are welcoming and accepting.” That said, this informative publication makes no mention of drag queens at the library. While drag has been around for centuries as part of theatre culture and in queer, underground, and/or experimental spaces, it has only come into the mainstream in recent decades with the emergence and immense success of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
